DESCRIPTION:Based on motifs from Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides\n\n
The Virgin Suicides was Jeffrey Eugenides’ debut novel. In the work – popu
larised through its film adaptation by Sofia Coppola – the author explores
the life of an average middle-class family living in suburbia: five siste
rs and their parents. The family home is an enclosed world with no exit. E
very childish wish or juvenile desire shatters when confronted with the pa
rents’ religiousness. Control and rules precede every stirring\, every cha
nge and blossoming of the pubescent girls. Observed by a gang of boys – th
e male gaze – the sisters increasingly turn into an all-consuming attracti
on. The girls seek to escape their confinement but their parents thwart th
eir breakout and only try harder to isolate them from the outside world –
until all the life in them is suffocated and they are driven to their deat
hs.\n\nThe audience follows the year of suicides according to the structur
e of the Tibetan Book of the Dead\, accompanied by texts by the famous pro
ponent of psychedelics\, Timothy Leary. It is not a question of self-contr
ol\, but of allowing oneself to be propelled. To shores unknown.\n\nBerlin
Premiere am 15.03.2018\n\nA coproduction with the Münchner Kammerspiele.
